Dawn, NVIDIA's beloved fairy who first made her appearance in a tech demo almost a decade ago will soon be making her return to coincide with Kepler. Dubbed "New Dawn", this will be the official tech demo for Kepler and is said to be more or less a retake of the original, only with the obvious vast improvements across the board in the level of detail on tap.

Dawn, NVIDIA's beloved fairy who first made her appearance in a tech demo almost a decade ago will soon be making her return to coincide with Kepler. Dubbed "New Dawn", this will be the official tech demo for Kepler and is said to be more or less a retake of the original, only with the obvious vast improvements across the board in the level of detail on tap.

While Dawn made her debut in amazing detail dating back all those years ago, that's nothing compared to what the likes of Kepler can do for us. NVIDIA will have Dawn looking far more lifelike than before with significant improvements to the environmental elements, including more realistic physics, hair animation and overall a far greater level of detail.

Kepler will allow NVIDIA to use a level of tesselation in this tech demo that its rival may possibly not be able to accomplish (irrespective of whether or not a hack becomes available down the road to execute it).

We don't have a formal release date for the New Dawn yet, but it's expected to arrive for download via NVIDIA.com and GeForce.com sometime soon. In the meantime, enjoy the short sneak peek below :-
